Professor Komisaruk said there is still a lot more to learn.

"We know virtually nothing about pleasure," he said.

"It's important to understand how the brain produces it. What parts of the brain produce such intense pleasure, and can we use that in some way? What would that do to depression or anxiety or addiction or pain?"
